Suilaid. Alassante eneth nÓn. Or for you non-Sindarin folks, Greetings, my name is Alassante.

I have been writing Het only Lord of the Rings fanfiction since November 2004. I also started dabbling in Silmarillion fiction late last year. I am a huge fan of the House of Finwe - all those naughty ones, Feanor, Curufin, Caranthir, Celegorm, Celebrimbor, Maeglin, plus the not so naughty ones like Fingolfin. I also love Glorfindel, Elrohir, and Elladan. I am a huge Noldork (fan of Noldo elves).TheAinur are fascinating as well - Varda, Manwe, Ulmo, Osse, Annatar,and yes, even Melkor. Melkor and Annatar might be bad but they are still fun. I used to be a major Legolas fan but once I was exposed to book verse and the Silmarillion, my love for Legolas dwindled slightly. But movie verse I love Legolas, Galadriel, Aragorn, and Eomer. I also like book verse Theodred and Thranduil.

All of my stories are posted on Open Scrolls Archive (OSA) and some are on Stories of Arda (SoA), Silmarillion Writer's Guild (SWG), Fanfiction.net, HASA, Naice a Nilme, and my Writing Live Journal. I helped out with the 2006 My Precious Awards (MPAs) and won a 2006 MPA. I also was pleased to win some 2006, 2008, and 2009 MEFAs for some of my stories and make it to the semi-finals in the 2006 Mithril with one story (posted on OSA only). All of my awards are posted on my LJ if interested - http://alassante2.livejournal.com/profile

One wrong decision can make a world of difference. When one of the Fellowship makes the mistake, the consequences are so severe that only the Valar can repair it. But will they?
